How do i add a download action for dxf files. firefox assumes its a text file and just opens it with no download action dialog box

I want to add a download action for dxf files so they open in Autodesk trueview. The steps described here (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_adding-download-actions) say to click on a link for the filetype you want to add an action to but firefox thinks the dxf is a text file and just opens it in a new tab with no download action dialog box.

Use the right-click context menu and choose "Save Link As" or hold down the alt key and left-click the link.

  • I got screwed again, my Mac suggested I download a newer version of Firefox which I did (3.6) and i ended up with the same problem as last time when I was prompted to try the Beta version (4).

    Now I can''t use or access the bookmarks !
    How can I go back to the older version that worked ok, except for the theme issues? I've consistently had issues with the themes, I can't get rid of the one I can't see through and have to uninstall it every time i open Firefox. I need a solution or I'll have to delete it for good and go back to Safari!

    Might it be that the bookmarks toolbar is hidden.
    Please see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks%20Toolbar#w_show-or-hide-the-bookmarks-toolbar for how to make it visible again.

    I'm updating my OS and I paused it for a while then turned my PC off then when I opened it again the download was gone. How can I retrieve it?

    "I'm updating my OS"
    Which OS?
    "and I paused it for a while then turned my PC off"
    Why?
    Just let it complete the download.
    "then when I opened it again the download was gone. How can I retrieve it?"
    If you mean iOS, select the iOS device in iTunes then click Update.

    The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4.   But you can't just change the extension.  The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat.  Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

    Hey there Luba_kalstad,
    It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
    Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
    Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
    If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
    Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and onl

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do I add a trusted connection one time in firefox?

    I have a user who is trying to access my department's external site. The pages that she is trying to access pulls data from a different domain (One in our DMZ) than the external host domain. This DMZ domain is a trusted domain and pulling data from this domain has worked well for years on multiple browsers without incident. Now for every other page that hits this internal DMZ server the user is getting "This connection is not trusted" and has to go through the manual exception dance to see her data. We host hundreds of pages and having to do this for each one is going to drive people to grab another browser quickly. I got this user working on Chrome without a problem and have tested it in IE without problem.
    I have recreated the cert8.db file in her profile and run into the same problem after reboot.
    How do I add a trusted connection for this domain one time?

    This should add the permanent exception:
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-untrusted-error-message#w_bypassing-the-warning Connection Untrusted Error Message: Bypassing the Warning]
    However if it is not staying until the next time that the user opens up Firefox, is it possible that they are in permanent private browsing? [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]] - that should have instructions to get in and out of it.

  • TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

    Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • HT4539 I just down loaded itones to my computer, then bought a bunch of music.  How do I add the songs to my mp3 player.  When I go to "file" and then devices the button that says sync isn't availlible to push, so I cant put the music on my mp3???  Help

    I just down loaded itones to my computer, then bought a bunch of music.  How do I add the songs to my mp3 player.  When I go to "file" and then devices the button that says sync isn't availlible to push, so I cant put the music on my mp3???  Help

    itunes will only sync with an ios device.
    On the other hand, if you have a usb cord for your mp3 player, and you know what FOLDER your itunes music is located in (and for me its located at C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media  )
    you can just select that folder and copy it to your mp3 player.
    typically when you first plug in something like an mp3 player you get a windows alert asking if you want to view the contents of the device- say yes. copy your itunes folder to the music folder on your mp3 player.

  • TS4068 I preordered a book.  When it came it, I must have initiated a download but it got paused for some reason. I cannot get it to un-pause. I go to purchased section in store and see the book with a download button next to it won't download

    I preordered a book that seems to have gotten paused in download. I go to "purchased" in store and see the book with a download button next to it but when I hit the download button, I get a message saying that I have already purchased the book and that I should go to purchases and hit download. Weird and vicious circle. How can I fix this or get my money back for the book and start over?

    I have this exact problem.  Have you sorted your's out yet????  No-on can give me a satisfactory answer or solution. Is there any way iBooks cab completely cancel the purchase so we can start all over again?

  • How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page.

    How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page. I don't use most of the links and would like to add other quick links.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page (Bug 791447).
